We do not operate on a square range at ranges in 100 yd increments. [ Instructors ] did an outstanding job in relating practical, real world experience to the learning environment. Far too many LE 'Sniper' courses focus on shooting and equipment and not nearly enough on field craft and practical skills of the rifleman. A good shooter does not a sniper make. The course was very well balanced and the learning environment was great. Outstanding job!

I spent 21 years in the military, 17 of which were in the Army (Infantry, Airborne, Ranger assignments), and have been deployed on 'real world missions' on several occasions. I have been to numerous courses and this was one of the best. The instructors are professional and extremely knowledgeable on all aspects related to the course of instruction. The force-on-force with simunitions is as close as it gets to the real deal. Every student leaves this course with the basic fundamentals of being a SWAT officer. Everyone's confidence is much higher than it was going into the course. I feel that the lessons learned will apply in everyday law enforcement operations and will greatly enhance the overall effectiveness of our Sheriff's Office... Money well spent!

You will not find any better SWAT training. The instructors and staff from Front Range Training are some of the most dedicated professionals you will come across, and it shows in their details in the training. They do not miss a beat; it is an extremely challenging course!

The [High Threat Protective Services Detail] course has been an eye opener. I now have a better perception and understanding of what it takes to be on a Protective Detail vice just thinking it only took good trigger pullers to be on a Protective Detail.

Our department just went through the Street Survival class, last week. The training was one of the best I had taken. The instructors, Kevin and Jim were great. The quality of the instructors and class were outstanding and I would recommend this training to anyone. Front Range Training is 'Top Notch' and we will be using them again.

I want to take just a moment to thank you and all your instructors at FRTC for the training you provided to the deploying 81st BCT, WAARNG. Not only did your people bring an immense amount of knowledge and experience, but a desire to pass that knowledge on to each and every soldier in the course. They brought a belief of saving lives and bringing every soldier back from the battlefield to the training that significantly increased the motivation of both the soldiers and the instructors. FRTC performed at an unprecedented and unparalled level that I have not seen in many years in the military and civilian EMS. I personally believe without a doubt that FRTC has increased the combat effectiveness and life-sustaining abilities of each soldier of the 81st BCT and the unit as a whole. We are honored to have a group of dedicated and passionate instructors from FRTC make us a better combat unit. Thank you again for all that have done for the WAARNG.
